how many MB in a Gig again? 1024 yea jesus wept <[Bryan]> seafoodgod: But it's kind of funny because some Hard Drive manufacturers would say that 1 gigabyte would equal 1000 megabytes of data instead of 1024. well, when you install the supposedly 80gb drive and it comes up 74.6gb, you know they're fucking morons <[Bryan]> seafoodgod:  zactly my point. and lying bastards.  but they cover their asses quite well:  "up to 80gb"  whatever the fuck that means <[Bryan]> seafoodgod: Sure some of that goes to the partion table and indexes and all that fun stuff.. but..err.... i just want to know where the other 5.4gb went.  what?  did it go to a fucking party while i was formatting?  did it go out to play golf and lose it's keys in a hazzard and have to spend the night over at a friend's drive? lol that bastard 5.4 gig never cleans up after itself, either.  never mows the grass or does the dishes or takes out the fucking trash maybe i'm better off without it.  YOU HEAR ME 5.4 GB!!!!   I DON'T NEED YOU!!!!
